Amazing series

I loved this series so much! Very well written, romantic, and quirky, making me laugh out loud at times. I finished all 3 in a weekend--who needs a clean house anyway! Very few, if any, grammatical/spelling errors which so often occur with ebooks in general. Also on the plus side, I learned some scientific vocabulary. Can't wait to read other books by this author.

Ahmahgah this book was great!

I absolutely loved it. Katy is the whole shy nerdy girl who doesn't think she's beautiful. Martin is the super hunky lab partner who is on the rowing team and likes her. I thought the book was highly entertaining and funny. The banter between them is awesome. Gah, what a cliffy! I can not wait for part 2 to come out. I'm so glad I found this author after reading The Hooker and the Hermit, such great writing!
This part right here had a tremendous impact on me, so well said. "She told me I should be proud of my healthy shape and healthy body, and love and treasure it because it was mine. No one, she said, could tell me what to think of my body. If I let another person’s opinion matter I was giving him or her control over me, and I had complete control over my self-image." Bravo.

Definitely a new favorite!

This is surely becoming one of my favorites. I return to it (and the next two sequel stories) frequently as a favorite "re-read". Depth if character and thoughts without losing the flow of the narrative and action. Real, quirky characters. Highly recommend!

Did little to hold my attention

Katy's personality is too forced at relate to. I found her stoic and slightly annoying. Her "cussing" was childish. Most anti-cursers use "crap" or "dang" or even "oh man" NOT "barnacles". It just made her dialogue very cringe worthy.
The plot itself was decent. It was a little hard to convince that Martin wasn't the least bit phased that people PLOTTED to drug him.
The rowing element felt kind of clunky and awkward with the book. It made me feel like they're also a secret agent group or something ridiculous.
The ending itself was a bit premature, a stringer cliffhanger would have been better.

CLIFFHANGER

There’s a cliffhanger. Be warned.

Great books don't leave cliffhangers that prevent the plot from being completed.
Cleverly written and an entertaining read but it seems the author chose to divide one story and plot line into multiple books. That seems like bad literary practice.
I would only read if you're prepared to buy the follow-up or if you don't need resolve in a book. I would have paid for a sequel but won't pay to finish the same story.

Hilarious!
